Here a guest may choose to engage in great conversation over a cocktail or may choose to appreciate quiet reprieve by selecting one of three different years of Grand Marnier ranging from 100 to 150 years old. This is a place chosen by those who long for a trip reminiscent of Paris, Florence, or Greece. Cafe Ponte exudes an under-exaggerated elegance, culinary confidence, and a 'knowing' staff.
